I like to think about extinction events when it comes to media. Analog Zero: (Born ~2005) Generation who will likely never touch analog encoded media. Physical Zero: (Born ~2012) Generation who will never interact with non-bitstream media. Past this it get’s more speculative, but we can take a few guesses... Broadcast Zero: (Born ~2015) Generation who never experienced everyone watching the same thing at the same moment. Media ingested asynchronously. Capture Zero (Born ~2023) Generation that will never assume a video or image represents a physical event that actually occurred. We might be getting close to a handwriting zero, but I don’t think we’re quite there yet. One of the most bizarre ones I’ve seen is the concept of a future “Stranger Zero”; as in a generation emerging that finds meeting someone without information about them first alien. What else?

A Warning from History. A year after WW1 ended, A French Pilot, Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, flew an Airship from the Belgian coast to the devastated battlefields of France where millions died. Lost for decades this is part of what he saw remastered in color and HD.

This still clears as one of the greatest moments ever caught on film. I actually can’t fathom it sometimes.

Rakim is still the man.

Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT "85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from" "The French take 3x more refugees than we do" "The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do" "If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita" "Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90% turn out to be genuine refugees" "If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees" "That is your deterrent" "Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them" Very well said @timfarron 👏

Vacuum cleaner looking a lot like a moody @FooDGrohl tonight

Forgot how funny Obama vs Trump making statements was 😭

If Europeans made street food the same way Indians do.

Final(ish) updated list of "notable" Tory party losses. (Ministers, ex-ministers, PPS, former PPS, whips, etc. along with people we're familiar with for one reason or another, usually - though not always - because they're a bad'un. This isn't meant to be a full list of all Tory MP losses.)

Get your Tory wipe out card ready

Every one of Rishi Sunaks "I'm doing a normal thing" photos just gives off Mr Burns without Smithers energy.

People wonder why Starmer is so cautious with his words? Look at the total misrepresentation and borderline antisemitism from the Conservatives this evening just for sharing one tiny family life detail. There’s your answer. Absolutely nothing these wankers won’t jump on.

the room next door - Rishi Sunak and the Eye Roller
